SAN ANTONIO — A large load of lumber spilled across the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 snarled traffic and brought cars to a halt Tuesday morning.

The debris extended across multiple lanes of I-10 between Vance Jackson Road and West Road.

Police were on the road, clearing the freeway and controlling traffic just after 11 a.m.

The lumber apparently spilled from a trailer being pulled by a Chevrolet pickup marked with a construction company's decal. The truck and trailer were pulled to the side of the freeway as the driver attempted to resecure the load.
